   Sorry I did not report the problem very well.  The trouble is not with
   fork itself but with open-process, which is not actually part of the
   runtime but rather part of ice-9 popen module.

Perhaps an object property could be added:

;; The property that @code{execl} uses to decide how to handle
;; an open port.  If the value is @code{#t}, do @code{close-port}
;; on it.  If a procedure, call that procedure with the port.
;; If @code{#f} or never specified, do nothing.
;;
(define close-on-exec (make-object-property))

Example usage:

(define port (open-input-file "COPYING"))
(set! (close-on-exec port) #t)
